Q4 2026 ETF outlook: getting more from core
Amid rapid shifts in market leadership and geopolitical uncertainty, attention is returning to core exposures.
The following is the introduction to our Q4 2026 ETF outlook.
In this quarterly update we’re focusing on the smart solutions that we believe can enhance core exposures, providing diversification* and potential for enhanced returns.
- Our first article considers how a multifactor overlay could provide a way of tapping historical sources of excess returns, as well as the possible role of dividend strategies in identifying financially resilient holdings
- The second explores the case for an equal-weight approach to core equity,
considering the potential benefits in terms of diversification, valuation and income - Our final article provides an overview of systematic active strategies, which aim to combine some of the core advantages of both active and passive
I hope these articles provide a fresh perspective on a crucial, but sometimes
overlooked, part of every portfolio.

*It should be noted that diversification is no guarantee against a loss in a declining market.
